CIN�MA PIANO SOLO, 21 CLASSIQUES DE CLAUDE BOLLING EN PIANO SOLO

 
“Music is like a small flame placed under the screen to help warm it’, said the American symphonic composer Aaron Copland, defining the role that music played in films. It’s an opinion shared by Claude Bolling, a major figure in European jazz and a man whose highly original scores have left an indelible mark on the collective memory: Borsalino, Lucky Luke, Le Magnifique, Les Brigades du Tigre… Fifty years after writing the music for his first short film, the great Bolling jumped at the idea of this retrospective, an entertaining project that would associate his twin statures as a pianist and film-composer within the same album.”
Stéphane LEROUGE

Claude Bolling is the great ambassador of big-band jazz and one of the greatest film-music composers of the 20th century. He’s also the man behind the term “crossover” designating the music-genre which mixes jazz with classical music, thanks to a dozen duo records which paired Bolling with trumpeter Maurice André, guitarist Alexandre Lagoya, cellist Yo-Yo Ma or flautist Jean-Pierre Rampal... Claude Bolling’s “Suite for Flute and Piano” with Rampal remained in the U.S. sales-charts of “Billboard” magazine for more than ten years.
